My Summer Love Returns
Day after day, I was sad and depressed.
All I thought about was Marie and her short dress;
Long flowing hair and beautiful smile:
I'm afraid I won't see her again for a while.
Night after night, I hadn't slept at all
While staring at the four corners of my wall.
Towards the end of June 2023,
I've been sweating like crazy from the haze and humidity.
I usually don't wake up at the crack of dawn,
Although it was seven on a Saturday morn.
I had to bring out of this misery spell:
It was time for this turtle to come out of his shell.
After I showered and made something to eat,
I prepared myself for the blistering heat.
4 hours later, I left my home,
But couldn't shake the fact that I was alone.
I went to a restaurant on Marcus Garvey
And watched "Family Feud" starring Steve Harvey.
I ordered a chicken sandwich with no cheese or bacon:
"Excuse me, monsieur. Is this seat taken?"
A female voice said to me.
It was none other than my summer love, Marie!
She flew all the way from France! What a surprise!
I gave her a hug with tears in my eyes.
I said, "Marie, I'm so glad you're here.
Would you like to join me for lunch and a root beer?"
"Oui, cutie pie," she said with a wink.
So I ordered more food and an extra drink.
I felt like bursting into a dance and song
Now that my loneliness is finally gone.
Marie from Paris is the one I'll treasure:
I love you, honey, always and forever.
The end
